Ms. Tintle has done a disservice to the teachers and students at WPE. They deserve better.

I have been there for 8 years and the principal this year and for the past 2 years (same lady) is awful. She does not care about these children. The teachers don't like her and have said as much privately or anonymously (through a personal email one time sent to some of the parents, I was one of them). We absolutely love our school but this principal just makes so many things so much harder than they have to be. She really needs to go. I would avoid this school if you are able simply because of her.

This school has a lot of positives, but there are a few MAJOR negatives. Cleaning up some people in the office would probably go a long way to fixing those problems.

Love a few teachers! But they are pushed for scores. Principle is the worst!

Negative. The lowest rating possible. Couldn't stand the place

When I was first hired years ago, this was my dream job. When dream jobs turn into nightmares, it's time to move on. I will miss some of the faculty and all of my students but I have to do what makes me happy.

We have two kids at this school and we think it is great. Last year was K and 2nd, this year is 1st and 3rd. Our children really enjoy the teachers they have had so far.

Terrible and I hold the superintendent accountable for doing such a poor job hiring someone incapable of running a school.

Sick of the disrespect at this school! I had NEVER been anything but kind to these people. The staff (mostly administrators) treat you like you are beneath them. I’m just so done. My child will NOT be returning next year. How is a child who has ADHD/Autism constantly graded with unsatisfactory on behavior when we are doing EVERYTHING that was told to be done?? Behavior therapy and medication!!! Will they even be given a chance??? Just sick of it.

Once again I am in awe at the incompetence of this new principal. We took our daughter to back to school night and SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A TEACHER YET. How can this principal have our students best interest if she doesn't even have a teacher in place yet? If you are new to the school I recommend helping the individual teacher and do not dump money into the PTO. They've been promising a new playground for 3 years now. They are just a group of parents with brown on their noses.

This was our first year at West Pine Elementary School. Overall we have been very pleased with our experience. We as a family have been able to participate in many fun school wide activities throughout the year. I have been impressed by the number of parents I see volunteering in classrooms and at extra curricular activities. It seems to be a positive environment for both students and parents. We look forward to starting 1st grade next year and the new learning adventures to come.

Amazing school with wonderful support staff. Newer to the area, our teachers have been incredible and have gone out of their way to help our daughters transition. Administration has been welcoming and available for all our questions since the very first day. We are so grateful we are part of the West Pine Elementary family!

We moved our child to WPE from Pinehurst and I was very happy with the amount of involvement with the parents. I felt very welcomed to help out in any way I could.

This school has been fantastic! Wonderful, positive environment that has made learning fun for my child. Administration has an open door policy and I have always felt comfortable voicing and concerns or praises. Its been a very welcoming environment. As excited as we are for middle school I am really going to miss this school and the people that work here. The new Principal Ms. Tintle has has proven to be a true asset here. Ive also been impressed by the number of parents who volunteer at the school. Thank you again WPE for getting my child to excel in all aspects including character development.

2 months after my son started kindergarten the teacher and the assistant principal already had they're mind made up that they didn't like my child. How do you tell a parent your son is going to be retained and it's going to be a miracle if he is not by the end of the school year due to immaturity

Stumbled upon this website and the reviews actually have made me feel better. I was starting to think I was the only one who felt this way about WPES. I tried my best to love this school but it's been such a disappointment. I feel the same way that most of the people on here do.

The principal and vice principal show favortism to the kids and to parents. My daughter told me today that her favorite sub never gets called to sub anymore so they end up with subs that are 70+ years of age. The PTO isn't even involved with the school. I'm not even sure who they are! I'm glad this is my daughters last year. Otherwise we would be looking for another school.

Worst administration ever. They seem to have no problem showing favortism towards white folks. I don't know what has happened to the schools in moore county.
Submitted by parent on January 28, 2016

Too much work. Too much pressure on students and staff. Lack of parent involvement. Unorganized PTO. Lack of open door policy. Teaching to tests. No projects or hands on learning. According to my daughter the children in the accelerated classes are told they are smarter. Kids learn differently so why teach just one particular way and focus on the ones who excel learning that one way? Lack of common sense. Principal shows favoritism.

My son started West Pine last year. And every since he has been attending the school he has been an excellent student. His reading has excelled and so has his grades. The teachers he has this year are excellent. The teachers care for their students and want to see them succeed. Keep up the good work at West Pine Elementary. Hope to see many more great years and teachers in the future.
